Thank Mr/Ms.emsr2d2!

It means he is not of large build or of small build.
I don't have a problem with 'He has a medium build", which likewise means that he has a build which is neither large nor small.
It means that his gross physical characteristics (height, weight, muscularity, etc) approximate the average.
